Happy Holidays I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy holiday. May you have a relaxing, enjoyable and safe time with your families. I would also like to thank all our families, students and staff for your co-operation, patience, resilience and flexibility you have shown during term 2. The challenges presented at the start of term with Home Based Learning through to the joy of welcoming our students back to face to face learning were certainly a rollercoaster for us all. It is wonderful having our staff and student community together again and we look forward to broadening this to welcome our parents and carers so we are able to come together as a whole community again soon. We will commence Term 3 with the same hygiene and safety procedures, as well as, the same drop off and pick procedures we have had in Term 2.

Semester 1 Reports: Semester 1 reports were posted to COMPASS yesterday, Thursday 2 July. Parents wishing to discuss their child’s progress simply need to contact their child’s teacher via the school office email old@dbb.catholic.edu.au It is important that all school reports are downloaded from COMPASS and kept in a safe place as they will be needed for high school applications.

Premier’s Reading Challenge: Congratulations to all these children who have already completed the Premier’s Reading Challenge for 2020, we look forward to many more students completing this challenge in Term 3. Mirin Leanne Tristan
